E present sale closes the settlement of the estate of the late 
 Reiza Khan Monif of Paris and New York. Specimens from other 
sources have been added. All objects belonging to the estate of the 
late Reiza Khan Monif are made distinctly recognizable, by a star 
added to the number. 

While the whole collection is of an excellent average, some of the 
pieces are of outstanding merit. The large Rhages lustre platter is 
an unusually fine and important example. 

Of the two important rugs, No. 364 is a fine representative of the 
classic 16th century Ispahan type. The graceful spacing of the de- 
sign shows that it must be a rather early representative of the type, 
which can be assigned to the first half of the 16th century. The second 
rug, No. 365, belongs to the much discussed group of Eastern Cau- 
casian and Persian rugs, from the extreme north-western border prov- 
inces, such as Ghilan. It shows a fine and virile design, with which we 
are also acquainted through the rugs of the Kuba type. Both pieces 
are equally important from the artistic and the historic standpoint.

IMPORTANT ORIENTAL RUGS 


NUMBERS 364-365 


IMPORTANT ISPAHAN RUG Persia, 16TH CENTURY 
The border shows a beautiful design of scrolls and peony 
flowers on deep bluish-green background. The centre field with 
a design of gracefully swinging spirals intermingled with leaves, 
peony flowers and Chinese cloud bands. Old-rose background. 
We assign this rug rather to the early 16th century, on account 
of the very fine spacing of the design. Rugs of the later period 
are inclined to seek improvement by technical elaboration and 
over-crowding of the design. A fluid and yet spacious com- 
position like that of the present rug seems to indicate the short 
moment of balanced perfection that took place in rug designing 
during the period of Behzad. (Slight imperfections) 

Size, 7 feet 8 inches x 16 feet 10 inches

IMPORTANT FLORAL RUG 

EASTERN CAUCASUS, 17TH CENTURY 
This type of design, which can be traced back to the 16th cen- 
tury Ispahan rugs, occurs in 17th century rugs which are 
ascribed to Armenia, Eastern Caucasus (Kuba) and the dis- 
trict Ghilan by the south-west corner of the Caspian Sea. It 
seems to be more and more probable that the Armenian rugs 
do not belong to Armenia proper, as stated by Martin, but 
to the Eastern Caucasus and the corresponding Persian border 
land. It is therefore more than possible that all the rugs of 
this design belong to the district of the Eastern Caucasus and 
the Persian border provinces.

The present rug is an extremely fine specimen of the type. It 
has a main border showing undulated vines with five petalled 
rosette flowers on red ground. The main border is flanked by 
two small flowers, showing small black geometrical rosettes on 
yellow ground. The centre field is on a beautiful sapphire- 
blue ground, with four rows of palmette flowers of bold design 
connected by tendrils, alternating with lozenge-shaped, scal- 
loped motifs with small arabesque leaves attached at either end.
